How did your Ash Wednesday go, @agdr03 and @GB? Mine’s just about to start. In many ways, I prefer the Lenten season to Advent. They’re both a time of preparation. Lent prepares us for Easter while Advent prepares us for the birth of Jesus. But the Advent season has become so commercialized because of the […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I made a bingo card with kdrama tropes. Everything should be easy to find. The middle grid is a bit tricky because some of you may have not heard of the word before. 🙂 I want you to learn this word because it’s topical for Valentine’s day and for us, kdrama viewers. […]

Happy Lunar New Year!!
Happy Year of the Dragon, everyone! Wishing you all good health, good fortune, good times, good kdramas, and good food! What are you eating for New Year’s?

Doctor Slump: Ep 4 My Highlights
If I ignore all the legal scenes, I’m fine with this romcom. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In that well-loved play, Beatrice and Benedick sparred wits until Benedick was tricked into believing that Beatrice secretly loved him. He didn’t know that he was being set up when he overheard three men […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 10 The Courtship
In case some of you are just joining this blog, let me reiterate. One reason this kdrama appeals to me is that it reminds me of a Jane Austen novel. Like an Austenite heroine, SoonDeok has an inner life, that’s reflected in her conversation with herself and relationship with the family members. Though there are […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 3 My Highlights
I’m still on board this kdrama. 1. Why JungWoo hates Nam HaNeul In his own words — JW: Okay, now let me tell you why I started to hate Nam HaNeul. With my gifted brain, I became the top-ranked student in my school, in my region, and in the country. That’s me, Yeo JungWoo. I […]
Marry My Husband: Ep 9 The Highlights
I like this episode because it’s zippy. Having seen all the kdrama tropes and their variations, I appreciate that the director didn’t slow-mo the soulful looks and silent pauses and bore us with details on how JiWon captured the flag during office field trip or managed to get SuMin and herself out of the water. […]
